Star Wars Armada – Epic Scale Space Battles

So you want to field a Star Destroyer? Done! You want to see a fur ball of Tie-Fighters swarming around Rebel frigates? Done! You want to decide the fate of the galaxy with your expertly timed tactics? Done!

Star Wars Armada is the new pre-painted, miniatures game coming out from Fantasy Flight Games that allows you to go head-to-head with your opponent in a truly epic scale. You have probably played or at least seen Fantasy Flight’s X-Wing game and want to start drawing comparisons between X-Wing and Armada. The difference should be significant. Yes, they are both pre-painted, tactical miniature games set in the Star Wars universe, but the game mechanics are different. Below is a list of some of the gaming features for Armada.

Defense tokens that you can spend to modify your defenses or take evasive maneuvers

Set hidden command actions

A really cool, dynamic maneuver tool for capital ships

Intuitive dials to track stats on ships

Objectives with special rules that will change your mission during each game

Intuitive Tracker Dials

An X-wing squadron is shown connected to its base which tracks its remaining hit points (shown here at “5”) and whether or not it has activated. Here, the blue tab on the left of the base indicates that the squadron has not yet activated. Once the squadron has activated, the tab is pushed through to the other side and displays its orange end.
